Verdict

A decent claimer with HORSTED KEYNES rated 92 and dropping down in class after a third at Yarmouth - George Buckell’s allowance will come in useful once again. Tatlisu ran below par in a claimer at Beverley given he was weighted to beat runner-up Al Khan but the latter should go well again while Michele Strogoff won at Chester the last time he competed at this level. Unforgiving Minute can also figure on these terms and Joey's Destiny landed a less competitive claiming race over track and trip on his penultimate start.
